I'm the 9 Chairman of the Public Utilities Board. This is my 10 first pre-hearing conference related to Manitoba 11 Hydro. 12 With me are Board members Marilyn 13 Kapitany, Larry Ring, Shawn McCutcheon, Sharon McKay, 14 and Hugh Grant. Brief bios of each Board member are 15 available on the Board's web page. Both Marilyn and 16 Hugh have prior experience for Manitoba Hydro's last 17 General Rate Application. As -- as well, Larry Ring 18 sat with Marilyn and Hugh on the Manitoba Hydro Cost 19 of Service Study Methodology Review. This is the 20 first General Rate Application for Sharon, Shawn, and 21 me. 22 The panel is assisted in this hearing 23 by associate secretary Kurt Simonsen, judicial hearing 24 assistant Diana Villegas. Bob Peters and Dayna 25 Steinfeld will act as Board counsel. They're sitting DIGI-TRAN INC. 1-800-663-4915 or 1-403-276-7611 Serving Clients Throughout Canada 7 1 there. 2 As in prior hearings, the Board is also 3 assisted by technical advisors from Ryall Engineering 4 and Cathcart advisors. The Board would like to 5 welcome Alex McQuarrie, who has recently joined 6 Cathcart Advisors. 7 I would also like to pause for a moment 8 to mention the passing of Larry Buhr earlier this 9 year. Larry was a long-time and valued engineering 10 advisor to the Board and he is missed by all of us at 11 the Board and our advisors. His absence will surely 12 be keenly felt by us all throughout this general rate 13 application process. 14 On behalf of the panel I would also 15 like to welcome Manitoba Hydro and the perspective 16 Intervenors. This pre-hearing conference is scheduled 17 for today with Wednesday available as an overflow day 18 if we need it. However, we are going to try and push 19 the matters through today, as there is a scheduling 20 conflict with a number of people. So if we can fit it 21 in today, and if it requires us to go late, we will do 22 so if we can complete it. 23 The Public Utilities Board's mandate is 24 to set just and reasonable rates that are in the 25 public interest. The public interest has been defined DIGI-TRAN INC. 1-800-663-4915 or 1-403-276-7611 Serving Clients Throughout Canada 8 1 by the Manitoba Court of Appeal as balancing the 2 impacts of rate increases on consumers with the fiscal 3 health of the Utility. 4 In order to set just and reasonable 5 rates that are in the public interest, the Board will 6 need to hear and consider all of the evidence that is 7 adduced on the record of this proceeding and hear 8 submissions from Manitoba Hydro and all approved 9 Intervenors. 10 On May 5th, 2017, Manitoba Hydro filed 11 its letter of application for its 2017/'18 and 12 2018/'19 general rate application. Manitoba Hydro 13 filed its revenue requirement materials on May 12th, 14 2017, and it's cost of service, and proposed rates, 15 and customer impact materials on May 26, 2017. 16 Also on May 26, 2017, Manitoba Hydro 17 provided its responses to minimum filing requirements 18 from the Board and passed the Intervenors of record, 19 excluding the Board's capital related minimum filing 20 requirements. The capital related responses are 21 expected on or around June 21st, 2017. 22 Both Manitoba Hydro and approved 23 Intervenors are to assist this panel in understanding 24 the issues and options that relate to Manitoba Hydro's 25 request to finalize the existing August 1st, 2016, DIGI-TRAN INC. 1-800-663-4915 or 1-403-276-7611 Serving Clients Throughout Canada 9 1 interim rate, as well as Manitoba Hydro's request for 2 an interim rate to increase consumer rates by 7.9 3 percent effective August 1st, 2017; to finalize that 4 August 1st, 2017, interim rate in the general rate 5 application, and to increase consumer rates by a 6 further 7.9 percent in 2018. 7 That leads me to the main purposes of 8 this pre-hearing conference, which are (a) to identify 9 and approve appropriate Intervenors, (b) to identify 10 which issues are included in the scope of this public 11 hearing, and (c) to finalize a timetable for the 12 orderly exchange of evidence and the conduct of the 13 public hearing. 14 At this time, the Board has received 15 written applications for Intervenor status from the 16 Consumers' Coalition, which is a coalition of the 17 Consumers' Association of Canada (Manitoba) and 18 Winnipeg Harvest; the Green Action Centre; Manitoba 19 Industrial Power Users Group; the general service -- 20 small general service medium customer class; Manitoba 21 Keewatinowi Okimakanak; the Assembly of Manitoba 22 Chiefs; Keystone Agricultural Producers, the Business 23 Council of Manitoba; and individuals Mr. Gerald Finkle 24 and Dr. John Gray. 25 While this pre-hearing conference needs DIGI-TRAN INC. 1-800-663-4915 or 1-403-276-7611 Serving Clients Throughout Canada 10 1 to be conducted in an orderly and efficient manner, 2 please remember that these proceedings are to be 3 informal, even if the technology makes it appear 4 otherwise. 5 The Board will hear from all proposed 6 Intervenors seeking to be involved in this hearing, 7 and we may have questions of you to help our 8 understanding of your requests for Intervenor 9 standing. 10 Please note today is not an evidentiary 11 hearing. Today is to deal with the process. 12 In a letter dated May 26, 2017, the 13 Board advanced questions for the proposed Intervenors 14 to address at today's pre-hearing conference. This 15 letter has been provided to all proposed Intervenors. 16 The Board requests that all proposed Intervenors 17 provide answers to the matters set out in the May 26 18 letter. 19 Before I call on Board counsel, the 20 panel has specific requests of the parties. The Board 21 welcomes public participation, and there are several - 22 - several ways for the public to participate and to 23 communicate with the Board. 24 At one (1) of -- end of the spectrum, 25 Intervenors representing a significant number of DIGI-TRAN INC. 1-800-663-4915 or 1-403-276-7611 Serving Clients Throughout Canada 11 1 ratepayers may be approved, and if so, are expective - 2 - expected to actively participate throughout the 3 hearing process, including reviewing Manitoba Hydro's 4 application, asking Information Requests to fully 5 understand the position of the Utility, perhaps file 6 expert evidence, attend the public hearing to cross- 7 examine witnesses of other parties, and to provode -- 8 to provide closing submissions.

  • Manitoba's Top Employers
    TOP EMPLOYERS COMPETITION ABOUT MORE THAN JUST NUMBERS BY GEOFF KIRBYSON Your dream employer might be Google or Facebook, but the researchers behind the Manitoba’s Top Employers project hope job-seekers will wake up to what really makes a company a great place to work. As part of the Toronto-based Canada’s Top 100 Employers competition, the research team aims to increase the literacy of the national workforce, particularly millennials who tend to get caught up in the hype surrounding high-profile companies. Likes, views and retweets are fine in the moment, but they’re worth nothing when it comes to your future, they say. “We still write about great employers with defined benefit pension plans,” says Tony Meehan, Publisher at Mediacorp Canada Inc., which manages the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project. “People don’t realize that can be the difference between a happy retirement or no retirement at all. As you get older, vacation time makes a big difference (in where you want to work). We still see employers offering two weeks to start and three weeks after five years. We like to publish what the MANITOBA’S very best are doing,” he says. Mediacorp has been ranking Canadian employers of all kinds for 19 years and Meehan’s team of editors doesn’t get tired of scouring the country looking for employers with interesting TOP EMPLOYERS stories of doing things differently in their industry WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2018 or region. “Each year, employers bare their souls to us. We have 400 data points that each of them shares with us, including benefits like maternity leave, top vacation allowance, training and a host of other factors,” he says.

  • The Manitoba Hydro-Electric Board
    The Manitoba Hydro-Electric Board QUARTERLY REPORT for the three months ended June 30, 2012 Comments by THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD and by THE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Financial Overview Manitoba Hydro incurred a net loss on consolidated electricity and natural gas operations of $24 million for the first three months of the 2012-13 fiscal year compared to net income of $6 million for the same period last year. The net loss was comprised of a $14 million loss in the electricity sector and a $10 million loss in the natural gas sector. The loss in the electricity sector was attributable to decreased revenues from extraprovincial electricity sales and higher operating expenses related to accounting changes and pension-related cost increases. The reduced electricity sector revenues and higher costs were consistent with expectations for the first quarter. The loss in the natural gas sector is the result of seasonal variations in the demand for natural gas and should be recouped over the winter heating season. Manitoba Hydro continues to experience low export market prices as a result of low natural gas prices and lower demand for electricity due to economic conditions in the U.S. Low export prices are projected to result in continuing downward pressure on net income in 2012- 13. Based on current water flow and export market conditions, Manitoba Hydro is forecasting that financial results will improve somewhat and net income should reach approximately $30 million by March 31, 2013. The achievement of this level of net income, however, is dependent on the approval of rate increase applications currently before the Public Utilities Board.

  • Review of Manitoba Hydro's General Rate Application on Behalf of The
    Review of Manitoba Hydro’s general rate application on behalf of the small and medium general service customer classes and Keystone Agricultural Producers prepared for Hill Sokalski Walsh Olson LLP October 31st, 2017 The potential for rate increases of nearly 50% over a five-year period will have a significant negative impact on the general service small (“GSS”) and general service medium (“GSM”) customer classes in Manitoba. Upon review of Manitoba Hydro’s general rate application, responses to information requests and minimum filing requirements, London Economics International LLC (“LEI”) finds that the proposed rate increase should be held in abeyance until (i) comprehensive macroeconomic modeling is performed; (ii) a robust independent analysis of whether Keeyask should be postponed, modified, or cancelled is submitted; and (iii) an additional independent review of Manitoba Hydro costs, staffing, and operating procedures is developed.
